我觉得这里的A不对的

After several years of rapid growth, the healthy care company became one of the largest health care providers in the metropolitan area, while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to doctors and hospitals.

1. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its payment to

2. while it then proved unable to handle the increase in business and fell months behind in its payment to

3. but then it proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in its paying

4. but then proving unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying

5. but then proved unable to handle the increase in business, falling months behind in paying

While it then proved unable to...这里的proved是被动语态补全就是

while it (is) then proved (that it is) unable to...

要省也应该是it is一起省~~所以A是不对的

E就是把it is 一起省掉了，还是E好一点的~~

继续讨论~~

Wow,I didn't know I was invovled.

Four months later today, E is an obvious choice to me.

选E

1 while不能和then连用

2 proved需用被动语态, it is 一起省。

以下是引用chang2301在2006-11-22 15:16:00的发言：

這題選E是沒錯的

結構平衡句意也較清楚

至於大家爭執的paying,payment問題

把原句還原一下就好了

the healthy care company fell months behind in paying doctors and hospitals

表示這個公司已經有很多個月沒付錢了

若用payment的話就變成

the healthy care company fell months behind in its payment to doctors and hospitals

不但囉唆又難唸

且一個簡單的pay的動作改成its payment是wordy的

支持楼主，支持E。

A) 从句意上讲是公司在做什么上落后，如果用名词payment，会被理解成在payment里面的意思，不通顺；另外，it有指代不清的“嫌疑”；

B) 同A;

C) its paying不好；it指代不清；

D) proving错；

E) 我认为最好。

我覺得E念上去比較好

但是有疑問的是E的“xxxx，but then proved unable to”中，逗號後面的句子好像不太完整。請nn解釋一下啦？

1，"sth. prove be adj."应该是正确的，主动表被动意思
2, fall behind in payment/paying, 好像google上两种表达都有
3，我觉得A和E的区别在于是否是并列（E）还是从句（A）。
我更倾向A
“After several years of rapid growth”修饰“the healthy care company became one of the largest health care providers”，这句意思应该是完整的。然后是完整转折从句“it then proved unable to handle the increase in business”
如果是并列的话，After XXX同时也修饰“proved unable to handle the increase in business”了，这个和“then”出现了矛盾。

欢迎拍砖

以下是引用遥远的绿洲在2006-12-11 14:58:00的发言：

倾向选E,

1.paying在此不作名词, 所以跟payment没有可比性,且GMAT比较倾向用动词主动形式表达意思,不倾向于用sb's + 动词的名词形式

2.but分句中没有主语,我认为是省略了第一个分句中的共同主语 the company.

vote for E

1 while不能和then连用是对的：while=but then吧？

2 proved需用被动语态, it is 一起省是被证明

但是也有主动用法：sth proves adj. to do

fail in doing sth.有个说法

但是fall behind in paying/payment好象是都对吧？但是A是不是加了个its payment多余了？

晕了，还是选E吧！
